AAC metadata FAQs
What can I see in a AAC file?
View title/artist/album tags, embedded artwork, bitrate/sample rate/channels, and encoder/app fields for AAC files without altering them.
Do you change or recompress my AAC file?
No. The viewer only reads metadata from your AAC file and shows it back—streams, pixels, and content stay untouched.
What if my AAC file has little or no metadata?
Some AAC files ship with minimal fields. We show everything present—if a tag is missing (like GPS or author), there simply isn't any data to display.
Can I verify attachments or previews in a AAC?
Yes. If the AAC contains embedded previews, cover art, fonts, or thumbnails, we surface those entries so you know what ships with the file.
Can I copy the AAC metadata for documentation?
You can copy the on-screen results to include in tickets, audits, or delivery notes without modifying the original AAC.
